The 2023 F-1 Season is upon us and like last year, it opens in Sakhir, Bahrain on the week-end of March 03-05, 2023. Preseason testing will be complete in a week and all the teams will be testing the new livery systems. Lots of stories going on with all of the driver changes, team changes, and the 2023 new livery systems. The biggest question is whether Hamilton can finally get his record-setting eighth championship along with Mercedes or has he faded into the shadows of Red Bull's second consecutive Championship. So here we go, get your picks in before Sunday at the start of the cars engines and we shall see who is the champion this year on this board.
New changes for 2022 here on the board. Another one-year deal has been signed with Stevens Enterprises or the Silent Partner (SP). The mood during the negotiations was that they will go one more year and if the competition doesn't show growth, a third contract signing will probably not occur next winter. So we shall see how this all goes.
The changes for 2023 are as follows: If you correctly select First Place, 10 points will be awarded; Second Place, 7 points; Third place 5 points; Fourth Place 3 points; 5 points are awarded if you run the table including Fourth Place. Total Points possible per race is now 30 points with the Run-the-Table option included if you earn that. If F-1 does those crazy Saturday Race-In competitions again, the points awarded will reflect what is given by F-1 like we did last year. Last year, First place was two points and the other podium finishes were 1 point each. I suspect something similar will be for 2023
At the end of the season, the Champion will receive a $20.00 cash award mailed to your residence. Second Place will receive $10.00 cash award and Third Place will receive $5.00 cash award all mailed to your residences. Only the top three positions in our championship competition will receive a cash award. If there is a tie, the two members will be paid equally the amount of that position. So if there are two Second Place winners, each will receive $10.00. If you start the competition and disappear for three consecutive races or five hit-and-miss races, you forfeit cash awards if you are in the top three at the end of the year. This per the contract language and no cash award will be levied to that competitor.
I hope everyone comes out for another year of F-1 Racing. Enjoy and see you all on this board!!
